Doing Business 2020 Indonesia
The Doing Business project provides objective measures of business regulations and their enforcement across 190 economies and selected cities at the subnational and
regional level.
The Doing Business project, launched in 2002, looks at domestic small and medium-size companies and measures the regulations applying to them through their life
cycle.
Doing Business captures several important dimensions of the regulatory environment as it applies to local firms. It provides quantitative indicators on regulation for
starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, trading across
borders, enforcing contracts and resolving insolvency. Doing Business also measures features of employing workers. Although Doing Business does not present rankings
of economies on the employing workers indicators or include the topic in the aggregate ease of doing business score or ranking on the ease of doing business, it does
present the data for these indicators.
By gathering and analyzing comprehensive quantitative data to compare business regulation environments across economies and over time, Doing Business encourages
economies to compete towards more efficient regulation; offers measurable benchmarks for reform; and serves as a resource for academics, journalists, private sector
researchers and others interested in the business climate of each economy.
In addition, Doing Business offers detailed subnational studies, which exhaustively cover business regulation and reform in different cities and regions within a nation.
These studies provide data on the ease of doing business, rank each location, and recommend reforms to improve performance in each of the indicator areas. Selected
cities can compare their business regulations with other cities in the economy or region and with the 190 economies that Doing Business has ranked.
The first Doing Business study, published in 2003, covered 5 indicator sets and 133 economies. This year’s study covers 11 indicator sets and 190 economies. Most
indicator sets refer to a case scenario in the largest business city of each economy, except for 11 economies that have a population of more than 100 million as of 2013
(Bangladesh, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Russian Federation and the United States) where Doing Business also collected data
for the second largest business city. The data for these 11 economies are a population-weighted average for the 2 largest business cities. The project has benefited from
feedback from governments, academics, practitioners and reviewers. The initial goal remains: to provide an objective basis for understanding and improving the
regulatory environment for business around the world.

Starting a Business
This topic measures the number of procedures, time, cost and paid-in minimum capital requirement for a small- to medium-sized limited liability company to start up and
formally operate in each economy’s largest business city.
To make the data comparable across 190 economies, Doing Business uses a standardized business that is 100% domestically owned, has start-up capital equivalent to
10 times the income per capita, engages in general industrial or commercial activities and employs between 10 and 50 people one month after the commencement of
operations, all of whom are domestic nationals. Starting a Business considers two types of local limited liability companies that are identical in all aspects, except that one
company is owned by 5 married women and the other by 5 married men. The ranking of economies on the ease of starting a business is determined by sorting their
scores for starting a business. These scores are the simple average of the scores for each of the component indicators.
The most recent round of data collection for the project was completed in May 2019. See the methodology for more information.
Procedures to legally start and formally operate a company To make the data comparable across economies, several assumptions about the business and the

This topic tracks the procedures, time and cost to build a warehouse—including obtaining necessary the licenses and permits, submitting all required notifications,
requesting and receiving all necessary inspections and obtaining utility connections. In addition, the Dealing with Construction Permits indicator measures the building
quality control index, evaluating the quality of building regulations, the strength of quality control and safety mechanisms, liability and insurance regimes, and professional
certification requirements. The most recent round of data collection was completed in May 2019. See the methodology for more information

8 Request and obtain building construction permit (IMB) 42 days IDR 58,471,407
Agency : Investment and One-Stop Services Department within the One-Stop Integrated Service
Agency (Badan Pelayanan Terpadu Satu Pintu/BPTSP)
When BuildCo has the complete set of documents (see below) and the application is submitted,
the Supervision and Control Office will conduct an inspection. Given that the plot where the
warehouse will be built is empty, no representative from BuildCo needs to be present. Officials will
only verify that the plot is vacant.
The Building Supervision and Control Office has 4 different teams that review the architectural,
structural, mechanical and electrical drawings. The application is first reviewed by TPAK (the team
that reviews the architectural drawings). This can take 3-4 weeks. The application is then
forwarded to TPKB (team that reviews the structural drawings) and in parallel to TPIB (team that
reviews the mechanical, electrical and plumbing drawings). This also takes about 3-4 weeks on
average.
According to Bylaw No. 3 on Building Tariff Rates of October 2012, the permit fee is calculated as
follows:

Agency : Investment and One-Stop Services Department within the One-Stop Integrated Service
Agency (Badan Pelayanan Terpadu Satu Pintu/BPTSP)
The construction completion and compliance report is a prerequisite for obtaining the certificate of
proper functioning (SLF) and the usage permit. The party issuing the official report on the
completion of the construction and compliance with the building permit is the Supervising Director,
who can be an individual, a group of experts, or an entity appointed by the project owner to
supervise the construction work. For the Doing Business case study, the supervising director
would most likely be in-house.
To obtain the fire safety certificate, an application is to be filed to the relevant PTSP with the
following documents before the inspection:

In order to obtain the city planning permit (SKRK), BuildCo must submit the following documents:
BuildCo can see the map of Surabaya online and click on the location where they intend to build
the project. Majority of applicants apply for the city planning permit in person, although it is
possible to submit the documents online.
Once it submits the documents, BuildCo is interviewed about the project details. After that, the
Surabaya one-stop shop checks adherence of the location with master plan and calculates the
retribution charges. BuildCo pays the fees at the Surabaya one-stop shop and the file is
transferred to the City Planning Agency (Dinas Cipta Karya dan Tata Ruang). City Planning
Agency representatives inspect the future building site, measure the location, prepare drawings,
and position the future building's plot in technical master plan. They also prepare location
drawings (with border, base coefficient, size coefficient, and technical requirements). When all is
complete, the City Planning Agency evaluates, registers, and approves the application. Once the
application has been approved, the City Planning Agency transfers the file back to the Surabaya
one-stop shop which then notifies BuildCo that the statement is ready for pick up.
Regulations establish a statutory time of 7 days for the city planning statement to be issued, but it
usually takes longer.

The legal basis for this procedure is:
a. Bylaw No. 4 of 2011 on the HO
b. Mayor Regulation No. 74 of 2011 on Implementation of Regional Regulation No. 4 of 2011
The local environmental agency (BPLHD) will review the UKL and UPL and conduct the
envirnomental impact assessment. But the letter of approval is issued by the one-stop shop.
The one-stop shop charges a fee for the approval letter. According to the fee schedule, buildings
over 900 sq. m. are charged at a fee of IDR 500 / sq. m. x 1300.6 sq. m. x 2 (location index) x 3
(environmental index) = IDR 3,901,800.
Smaller buildings with limited environmental impact can submit an Surat Pernyataan
Kesanggupan Pengelolaan Lingkungan (Statement of Environmental Management Capability). In
practice, construction firms choose to submit an UKL/UPL instead for warehouses and similar
construction projects.
According to Regulation No. 53 of 2011 and No. 37 of 2012, the legal time limit to issue the IMB is
20 days. But in practice, it takes much longer.
Architects and engineers will review all the drawings. There is usually a lot of back and forth
interactions between the one-stop shop and the applicant.

The buyer must pay the Tax on Acquisition of Land and Building (BPHTB) in the amount of 5% of
the sale value or Transfer value (“NPOP”). If the Sale value is higher than the NPOP, then the sale
value will be used. If the sale value is lower than the NPOP, then the NPOP value will be used.
Tax to the local government is paid at the Local Government Bank (Bank Badan Usaha Milik
Daerah) and/or another private commercial bank (Article 4.2 of Law No. 7/1983, amended by Law
No. 10/1994 and Law 17/2000 concerning Income Tax and Parts 2.1 and 5.1 of the Director-
General of Taxation Circular No. SE-04/P.J.33/1996 dated August 26, 1996).
The BPHTB Formula: The buyer pays the BPHTB in the amount of 5% x Sale value or Transfer
value (Nilai Perolehan Obyek Pajak or NPOP) minus the Non-Taxable Sale Value (Nilai Perolehan
Obyek Pajak Tidak Kena Pajak or NPOPTKP), which is determined regionally (According to Article
7 of Law No. 20/2000 concerning the amendment of Law No. 21/1997 concerning the Tax on
Acquisition of Land and Building). In Jakarta, the NPOPTKP is Rp. 80,000,000 (according to
Article 5 paragraph 7 of the Regional Decree of Special Province of Jakarta No. 18/2010
concerning the Tax on Acquisition of Land and Building (BPHTB)).
Since January 2017, payment of income tax from the transaction can be conducted online based
on the Director General of Taxation Regulation No.PER-26/PJ/2014 on Electronic Tax Payment
System. However, the procedure couldn't be done in less than a day since UPPRD shall instruct
officers in their respective units to verify the document sent electronically as soon as they received
it through online BPHTB collection system; and validate proof of payment in SSPD BPHTB
immediately upon receipt through BPHTB collection system online.

Regulation No. Per-18/PJ/2017 the authorized official can sign the deed, decision, agreement, or
minutes on the transfer of rights to the land and/or building only after receiving the formal research
certificate. Length of verification until the issuance of the letter is 3 business days according to the
Director General of Tax Regulation No. Per-26/PJ/2018.
This validation is not required for the Tax on Acquisition of Land and Building (BPHTB) since the

Getting Credit
This topic explores two sets of issues—the strength of credit reporting systems and the effectiveness of collateral and bankruptcy laws in facilitating lending. The most
recent round of data collection for the project was completed in May 2019. See the methodology for more information.
Strength of legal rights index (0–12) Doing Business assesses the sharing of credit information and the legal rights of borrowers and
lenders with respect to secured transactions through 2 sets of indicators. The depth of credit
• Rights of borrowers and lenders through collateral laws (0-10) information index measures rules and practices affecting the coverage, scope and accessibility of
• Protection of secured creditors’ rights through bankruptcy laws credit information available through a credit registry or a credit bureau. The strength of legal rights
(0-2) index measures the degree to which collateral and bankruptcy laws protect the rights of borrowers
and lenders and thus facilitate lending. For each economy it is first determined whether a unitary
Depth of credit information index (0–8) secured transactions system exists. Then two case scenarios, case A and case B, are used to

credit bureaus and credit registries (0-8) the law. Special emphasis is given to how the collateral registry operates (if registration of security
interests is possible). The case scenarios involve a secured borrower, company ABC, and a

(not both) to apply. Both cases examine the same set of legal provisions relating to the use of
Credit registry coverage (% of adults) movable collateral.
• Number of individuals and firms listed in credit registry as a Several assumptions about the secured borrower (ABC) and lender (BizBank) are used:
percentage of adult population
- ABC is a domestic limited liability company (or its legal equivalent).
- ABC has up to 50 employees.
- ABC has its headquarters and only base of operations in the economy’s largest business city. For
11 economies the data are also collected for the second largest business city.
- Both ABC and BizBank are 100% domestically owned.
The case scenarios also involve assumptions. In case A, as collateral for the loan, ABC grants
BizBank a nonpossessory security interest in one category of movable assets, for example, its
machinery or its inventory. ABC wants to keep both possession and ownership of the collateral. In
economies where the law does not allow nonpossessory security interests in movable property,
ABC and BizBank use a fiduciary transfer-of-title arrangement (or a similar substitute for
nonpossessory security interests).
In case B, ABC grants BizBank a business charge, enterprise charge, floating charge or any
charge that gives BizBank a security interest over ABC’s combined movable assets (or as much of
ABC’s movable assets as possible). ABC keeps ownership and possession of the assets.

Doing Business records the time and cost associated with the logistical process of exporting and importing goods. Doing Business measures the time and cost (excluding
tariffs) associated with three sets of procedures—documentary compliance, border compliance and domestic transport—within the overall process of exporting or
importing a shipment of goods. The most recent round of data collection for the project was completed in May 2019. See the methodology for more information.
Documentary compliance To make the data comparable across economies, a few assumptions are made about the traded
goods and the transactions:
• Obtaining, preparing and submitting documents during
transport, clearance, inspections and port or border handling in
Time: Time is measured in hours, and 1 day is 24 hours (for example, 22 days are recorded as

Assumptions of the case study:
• Handling and inspections that take place at the economy’s port - For all 190 economies covered by Doing Business, it is assumed a shipment is in a warehouse in
or border the largest business city of the exporting economy and travels to a warehouse in the largest
business city of the importing economy.
Domestic transport
- It is assumed each economy imports 15 metric tons of containerized auto parts (HS 8708) from
• Loading or unloading of the shipment at the warehouse or its natural import partner—the economy from which it imports the largest value (price times
port/border quantity) of auto parts. It is assumed each economy exports the product of its comparative

- All electronic information submissions requested by any government agency in connection with
the shipment are considered to be documents obtained, prepared and submitted during the export
or import process.
- A port or border is a place (seaport or land border crossing) where merchandise can enter or
leave an economy.
- Relevant government agencies include customs, port authorities, road police, border guards,
standardization agencies, ministries or departments of agriculture or industry, national security
agencies and any other government authorities.

Enforcing Contracts
The enforcing contracts indicator measures the time and cost for resolving a commercial dispute through a local first-instance court, and the quality of judicial processes
index, evaluating whether each economy has adopted a series of good practices that promote quality and efficiency in the court system. The most recent round of data
collection was completed in May 2019. See the methodology for more information.
Time required to enforce a contract through the courts The dispute in the case study involves the breach of a sales contract between two domestic
(calendar days) businesses. The case study assumes that the court hears an expert on the quality of the goods in
dispute. This distinguishes the case from simple debt enforcement.

Resolving Insolvency
Doing Business studies the time, cost and outcome of insolvency proceedings involving domestic legal entities. These variables are used to calculate the recovery rate,
which is recorded as cents on the dollar recovered by secured creditors through reorganization, liquidation or debt enforcement (foreclosure or receivership) proceedings.
To determine the present value of the amount recovered by creditors, Doing Business uses the lending rates from the International Monetary Fund, supplemented with
data from central banks and the Economist Intelligence Unit. The most recent round of data collection was completed in May 2019. See the methodology for more
information.
Time required to recover debt (years) To make the data on the time, cost and outcome comparable across economies, several
assumptions about the business and the case are used:
• Measured in calendar years
• Appeals and requests for extension are included - A hotel located in the largest city (or cities) has 201 employees and 50 suppliers. The hotel
experiences financial difficulties.
Cost required to recover debt (% of debtor’s estate) - The value of the hotel is 100% of the income per capita or the equivalent in local currency of USD
200,000, whichever is greater.
• Measured as percentage of estate value
- The hotel has a loan from a domestic bank, secured by a mortgage over the hotel’s real estate.
• Court fees The hotel cannot pay back the loan, but makes enough money to operate otherwise.
• Fees of insolvency administrators
In addition, Doing Business evaluates the quality of legal framework applicable to judicial
• Lawyers’ fees liquidation and reorganization proceedings and the extent to which best insolvency practices have
• Assessors’ and auctioneers’ fees been implemented in each economy covered.

Proceeding reorganization BizBank would initiate foreclosure after Mirage's default on payment. Under Part Six of Law No. 37 of 2004 regarding
Bankruptcy and Suspension of Obligation for Debt Payment, Mirage would petition to the Commercial Court for a
suspension of payments. The foreclosure procedure then gets converted to reorganization. Suspension of payment
cases are heard before the Commercial Court.
Outcome going concern After creditors approve the plan, it is possible to sell Mirage as going concern, because the prospect is good.
Time (in years) 1.1 BizBank would initiate foreclosure after Mirage's default on payment. According to Part Six of Law No. 37 of 2004
regarding Bankruptcy and Suspension of Obligation for Debt Payment, Mirage would petition to the Commercial Court
for a suspension of payments. The foreclosure procedure then gets converted to reorganization. Suspension of
payment cases are heard before the Commercial Court. It takes about 2 months from the moment the case is filed until
the first hearing. The Commercial Court must then grant a provisional moratorium, and appoint a supervisory judge
and an administrator or receiver to assist the debtor in managing its estate. The provisional moratorium period is 90
days, but the permanent moratorium, which can be granted as an extension, is 270 days (counted from the decision
on the temporary suspension). During this time, Mirage must propose a composition plan and creditors will decide
whether to accept the plan, reject it or proceed to a permanent moratorium. BizBank is likely to ratify the composition
plan if the terms are beneficial because it will recover more than through foreclosure. The total process, since Mirage
defaults up to the adoption of the plan is 13 months.
Cost (% of estate) 22.0 The costs associated with the case would amount to approximately 22% of the value of the debtor's estate. Cost
incurred during the entire insolvency process mainly include court or government agency fees (1%), attorneys’ fees (up
to 10%), administrator’s fees (up to 7.5%), fees of accountants, assessors, inspectors (up to 3%), other fees such as
announcement fees (1%).

Proceeding reorganization BizBank would initiate foreclosure after Mirage's default on payment. Under Part Six of Law No. 37 of 2004 regarding
Bankruptcy and Suspension of Obligation for Debt Payment, Mirage would petition to the Commercial Court for a
suspension of payments. The foreclosure procedure then gets converted to reorganization. Suspension of payment
cases are heard before the Commercial Court.
Outcome going concern After creditors approve the plan, it is possible to sell Mirage as going concern, because the prospect is good.
Time (in years) 1.1 BizBank would initiate foreclosure after Mirage's default on payment. According to Part Six of Law No. 37 of 2004
regarding Bankruptcy and Suspension of Obligation for Debt Payment, Mirage would petition to the Commercial Court
for a suspension of payments. The foreclosure procedure then gets converted to reorganization. Suspension of
payment cases are heard before the Commercial Court. It takes about 2 months from the moment the case is filed until
the first hearing. The Commercial Court must then grant a provisional moratorium, and appoint a supervisory judge
and an administrator or receiver to assist the debtor in managing its estate. The provisional moratorium period is 90
days, but the permanent moratorium, which can be granted as an extension, is 270 days (counted from the decision
on the temporary suspension). During this time, Mirage must propose a composition plan and creditors will decide
whether to accept the plan, reject it or proceed to a permanent moratorium. BizBank is likely to ratify the composition
plan if the terms are beneficial because it will recover more than through foreclosure. The total process, since Mirage
defaults up to the adoption of the plan is 13 months.
Cost (% of estate) 20.0 The costs associated with the case would amount to approximately 20% of the value of the debtor's estate. Cost
incurred during the entire insolvency process mainly include court or government agency fees (1%), attorneys’ fees (up
to 8%), administrator’s fees (up to 7.5%), fees of accountants, assessors, inspectors (up to 3%), other fees such as
announcement fees (1%).
